By law how many breaks am I allowed?

All employees are entitled to an uninterrupted break of 20 minutes when daily working time is more than six hours. It should be a break in working time and should not be taken either at the start, or at the end, of a working day. The nature of the job determines the length of break necessary to prevent fatigue.

If you still have questions please contact Employerguard, our combined HR and H&S Support service.
